Tsubaki

Tsubaki is the main antagonist at the beginning of the story. He is the 8th Servamp who should originally not exist - that may be the reason the other Servamps did not know of him at the beginning. He is also called "Who is coming?" He often laughs for no reason just to find it boring a few seconds later.

When he is in animal form, he has the shape of a fox (with two tails).

In controary to the subclass of the other Servamps - his subclass can face the sunlight and are often good fighters.

Background
When he was born exactly is unknown, but he is in fact the youngest of the Servamps. He was once owned by C3 - the organization which is said to work for the coexistence of humans and vampires. According to Tsuyuki, Shuhei Tsubaki has fled C3 and then turned against them.

Tsubaki is often talking about a person he refers to as "Sensei"(meaning teacher or somekind of master) - he never says it, but it's very possible, that Sensei could be his former "Eve". Later he explains, that Sensei is the person who has created all of the Servamps and was killed by Kuro.

Some years prior to the storyline he finds the young Sakuya Watanuki who has just lost his sister through suicide his parents forced her into to get money from their insurance. Tsubaki gets, how guilty Sakuya feels because he lied to the police - he considers himself responsible for her death. Probably knowing about the future, Tsubaki promises Sakuya, that he will come and pick him up if "everything" is over.

And when Sakuya is also forced into suicide by his parents, Tsubaki is the one who "saves" him.

Storyline
He is first mentioned by Belukia while fighting Kuro and Mahiru.

He then appears some time later and expaines his plans and goals for the future: killing a lot of humans and all of his brothers because they don't know him. Now he talks to Kuro and askes him, if he would deny, that this world is boring and nothing ever happens. He now declares war to his brother - but Kuro thinks Tsubaki might mistakes him for someone else, he does not know about a brother called Tsubaki. Hearing these words Tsubaki falls into laughter about how none of his brothers did know about him. After finishing his laughing, he introduses himself as the 8th Servamp.

Now he attacks Kuro with a sword and Mahiru askes him about his Eve. Tsubaki tells him, that he does not want to talk about it and speaks again of his war and that everyone should be dead at the end.

After talking about Tsubakis reasons for his war, it seams he is going to kill Mahiru and Kuro, but they are saved by All of Love.

The next time, Mahiru meets Tsubaki by incident at a Sushi-Bar.There, they talk about Sakuyas past. Not wanting to fight his brother here, Tsubaki leaves the building afterwards and hinders Mahiru to follow with some kind of magic.

In Vol. 03 Tsubaki attacks basements of C3 in order to weaken this organisation. At the end he stars a countdown for "Sensei's funeral service" - meaning his 7 brothers.

After that he sends Otogiri into the mansion of the Aliceins. There she pretents to be one of the staff members. She then succeeds in attacking All of Love and weaken his bond to Misono Alicein. A lot of Dschinn escape his body and Lilly can't fight anymore. He's the first Servamp Tsubaki defeats.

Using a trap he lures Licht Jekylland Todoroki to Japan. Of cause he takes his Servamp Lawless with him and Tsubaki plans to defeat him at Lichts concert. But things doesn't work the way Tsubaki had planned and instead of Lawless beeing defeated, it's Tsubakis subclass who were nearly erased completely. (Tsubaki orderd about 2000 of his subclass to be the audiance/fans of Lichts concert - most of them where killed by Lawless).

Tsubaki is deeply shocked and hurt - and later that day, he attackes Lawless and is able to "arrest" and kidnap him. He orders his strogest subclas Higan, to get Licht - who is succesful.

He takes them hostage and when Misono calls Tsubaki (with Higans Cellphone), Misono wants them to give Licht and Lawless back in exchange for Lila (one of the Tsubakis Subclass that survived) and the Cellphone.

But Tsubaki has planned it that way to lure them into a trap. He threatens Misono to seperate Servamp and Eve. When Misono, Testu and their Servamps infiltrate Tsubakis base, they seperate from each other to find both: Licht and Lawless. But they never were seperated and so only the half of the group faces Tsubakis subclass.

Never the less, Tsubaki succeeds in defeating Old Child and Lawless in the end. And just when Kuro is able to talk to Tsubaki and realizes, that "Sensei" only created the 8th Servamp in order to kill the others, C3 appears and chaces Tsubaki away after he is nearly defeated by Tsurugi Kamiya, Jun'ichirou Kurumamori and Yumikage Tsukimitsu. Then Shuhei Tsuyuki inferferes and Tsubaki manages to escape.
